Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
With his trademark happy hair and spirited band comes Dan Zanes in his first-ever DVD, a concert/video collection of sing along melodies blending rock, folk, and global rhythms into a homespun musical menagerie. Formerly with the Del Fuegos band and riding on the success of seven CDs, Zanes presents All Around the Kitchen! featuring nine musical selections performed live in concert at New York’s Knitting Factory. Whether familiar songs such as "Hokey Pokey" and "Polly Wolly Doodle," or lesser known numbers like "Malti," Zanes takes traditional music, winsomely turns it on its head, and adds such diverse instruments as accordion, banjo, upright bass, mandolin, and ukulele. On the program’s alternative track, viewers can choose among a half dozen music videos pulsating with kids, street scenes, dancing, singing, and jubilant acoustics. There is "House Party Time," "All Around the Kitchen," and "Hello" as seen on Noggin, as well as "Jump Up" and "Go Down Emmanuel Road" performed on Sesame Street. Zanes’ soulful musicians, contagious enthusiasm, and all-inclusive approach to music make this a song-and-dance fest where everyone finds a voice. (All ages) --Lynn Gibson

5.0 out of 5 stars A Lot of Fun!!, October 15, 2005
This is an excellent DVD. Dan Zanes and Friends, inlcuding Barbara Brousal, Colin Brooks, Cynthia Hopkins, and "Father Goose" have created a merry and tuneful set of videos. There are several that should appeal to the really young set -- animated and staged in a studio. A few others are just neat -- "Jump Up" takes place on the front stoop of a Brooklyn brownstone, and "Wandering" shows a lot of "on the road" scenes of the band. My 3 year old loves that video, even though it is geared toward adults -- I think, because it further humanizes the band.

Then there is a series of concert videos with astonishingly high sound quality. All of the songs are wonderful, but you may be surprised at how much adults enjoy songs like the "Father Goose" compilation -- it really rocks!!

My son is much more interested in music after watching these -- we had to buy him a harmonica, and now he wants a guitar. We all love watching these, and I think my son gets something out of it, and so it's a big winner.

Very highly recommended!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great live show for all music-loving families., May 8, 2006
By Neil Roseman (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I can only review the concert part of the DVD as that's the only part my 2.5 year-old Henry will let us watch/listen to. But, this is great stuff and worth the price alone. Zane's fine band is loose and having fun at NYCs Knitting Factory and their fun is contagious. More imprtantly, they survey some great old songs here that are much better than most kid's fare.

I think the live version's are generally better than on Dan's studio efforts too. Highlight's are "Pay Me My Money Down" (much better than the version on Springsteen's new CD), "Father Goose" (our favorite dance song) and "Sidewalks of New York". But, there are no duds on the set, and next week "Malki" and "Strike the Bell" will be back on top...

Don't expect any fancy effects or zany stage antics here -- just great musicians enjoying playing music for young and old.

Now that Dan is getting mainstream attention I hope he doesn't forget his roots. Henry will be unhappy and so will his dad.

5.0 out of 5 stars When you want your child to be more "interactive" with the t.v. ..., January 4, 2006
... pop in this DVD. My 18 mo old asks for this every day. She has learned the hand movements to "Strike the Bell," she's learned "Hola!" from "Hello, hello, hello," and she wiggles & dances to "All Around the Kitchen." It's a wonderful, fun, completely adult-friendly DVD.
